Borland Software announced that it will spin its developer tools group off into a wholly owned subsidiary known as CodeGear, a new organization that will be 100% dedicated to the developer tools market. The reason is they did not believe any of the prospective suitors would be able to “reflect the core value of the asset.”
Borland has produced great tools. Hope this new company will continue the saga.

Lidor Wyssocky has written about Ten Software Development Myths Which Are Still Around and extented them with Ten Additional Software Development Myths.
I’ve heard all of them, so, as she said in their posts, I must run (or be prepared for one heck of a discussion). 😉

The Marenostrum supercomputer has doubled its calculation capacity, up to 94.21 Tflops/s, and now it’s the 5th largest system worldwide and, again, the first in Europe, as appeared at the 28th TOP500 Supercomputer Sites List released during the 2006 Super Computing Conference in November.
I’ve had the opportunity to see the MareNostrum supercomputer during a visit to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center this year, and it’s fantastic to behold its unusual home, a former stone chapel built in the 1920’s, the Torre Girona chapel. You could see some photos at the BSC Gallery.
